ABSTRACT:
An intraocular lens comprising an optic and at least one elongated, resilient fixation member joined to the optic. The fixation member has a proximal segment joined to the optic, a distal segment and an intermediate segment joining the proximal and distal segments. The proximal segment has an inside radius of at least about 0.5 millimeter and a majority of the length of the intermediate segment has an outside radius of no more than about 2 millimeters. The distal segment is substantially longer that either of the proximal or intermediate segments and has an outside radius of between about 4.5 and about 5.5 millimeters.
